EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out of Spec Podcast features an insightful interview with Rich Mohr from ChargePoint, discussing the company's strategic partnership with LG Electronics. The collaboration focuses on integrating LG's advanced EV charging hardware with ChargePoint's robust software platform. This move aims to expand ChargePoint's offerings, particularly in commercial applications, by leveraging LG's manufacturing strength and reliable hardware, filling gaps where ChargePoint may not have ideal solutions.
